FAO supports UN OCHA's 87 million lives campaign
March 20, 2026

Acute hunger threatens 295 million people, with 87 million in extreme conditions. Farmers, herders, and fishers, who feed us, are often the most vulnerable. Saving lives cannot wait.

Timely, practical support for emergency food production—providing seeds, animal feed, and basic tools—is a vital lifeline. This assistance protects dignity, strengthens self-reliance, and prevents famine before it takes hold.
